Amy J - Re:"I wonder how IP is protected? Just curious. Taiwan must have an excellent reputation relative to the one that Jozef alluded to with respect to Japan in the 70's, 80's." Inside Taiwan protection for IP is almost nonexistent and the same was true of Japan in the 70's and 80's. But the global market of today means that the high tech products will arrive in countries with strong IP protection. For example, about 50% of the products will be sold in the US where, today, very good IP protection is available. Another large portion of the products will be sold in Europe where good IP protection is available but awkward to enforce because of the numerous national legal systems. The result is that Taiwan must respect global IP rights to some degree or limit its sales to 3rd world countries.
